There isn't "real" piracy because for the victim not much is at risk, no lifes are threatened. Loss is part of the business in a wild west world like EvE, the worst can happen is you wake up in your new clone and lost some time and ISK. I think you can live from loot and never leave low/nullsec using a hauler alt, but why restricting yourself?


And that is why folks move(d) on to mission busting and similar, people flying expensive ships with expensive modules which will give a profit when killed or ransomed. It's PVP for profit and while one could argue about semantics about what piracy is and isn't, you could say the same about how piracy may or may not have anything to do with being in low sec or not.

The fact is that the big and juicy targets are in high sec and the fox goes where the sheep are.

That isn't piracy...that's trophy hunting :-)
